Southwest Hiring Freeze?
 

Just saw this posting on the union website.....seems to be credible.
Anyone here know anything?

Oh boy. If true and another force majeure event hasn’t happened (which it hasn’t), then I’m thinking another merger/acquisition that’s just been agreed to.

Whack,
I hope you are wrong on the merger talk.

But, if the hiring freeze is true then in my opinion it is either one of two things:
1 -Merger
2- The FAA safety audit that was just announced is going to cause the FAA to delay our ETOPS certification and all that Hawaii flying that we have been hiring for is still a long ways away..

Neither are good scenarios. I can't see it being AK unless they get the Airbuses for free or an option offload them?

The “offload” option was being discussed with AA a while back. Quote, “Our Airbuses for some of their B737s”.

I was thinking they meant Spirit but perhaps it’s ALA.

There’s also the issue of what to with Horizon as that’s a part of Airgroup. Ah, it’s fun to speculate anyway! Hope it’s all for not and WN keeps on doing what they do.

Keep the Q400s & have them run interisland Hawaii and/or TX two step to the smaller cities.

What about all the 175s flying around in Alaska colors?

Republic will buy those.

You guys need to take a deep breath and step away from your computers. Take a walk. Have a drink. I’m the most glass half empty person around and if I’M not concerned, you shouldn’t be either.

Tapping the brakes is not reason for to fear the sky falling.
